This is a classic, easy to bake cornflake slice that the whole family will enjoy.
The ingredients make a large family sized slice, you can simply halve them if a smaller slice is required.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of vegan butter or margarine
- 5 tablespoons of golden syrup
- 1 cup of caster sugar
- 2 cups of desiccated coconut
- 4 cups of crushed cornflakes (crush before measuring). Crush the cornflakes very small for a smoother slice, or leave them larger for a crunchier texture
- 3 cups of flour
- The equivalent of 3 eggs made with Orgran Vegan Egg Replacer
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- A jar of your favourite jam - we use raspberry jam
Method:
- Set oven to approximately 180 C.
- In a large bowl, combine the sugar, coconut, cornflakes, flour and salt. Stir well with a spoon.
- In the microwave, or using a saucepan on the stove top, melt the butter and add the golden syrup and stir together.
- Poor the butter and syrup mix over the dry ingredients and add the egg before mixing all the ingredients together well.
- Divide the mix into two parts. Line your slice tray and press one half of the mix into the base of the tray.
- Spoon jam onto the base layer and smooth out with the back of a spoon. Use as much jam as you like, depending on the size of the slice.
- Now break up the second half of the mix over the base and jam layer and press down to cover the jam. We also used a knife to add some small cuts into the top layer to aid with cooking.
- Bake the slice in the oven for approximately 40 minutes if making a larger slice, around 25 minutes for a smaller one. The slice should be baked until golden on top.
- The slice is dense so cut into pieces while it is still a little warm as it is easier for the knife to pass through. Use a sharp knife to cut the slice.
- Enjoy as a snack or tasty lunchbox treat.
